Teen ghostbusters fined $300 for warehouse trespass

Two teens who tried to photograph a ghost “haunting’’ a disused Brisbane warehouse have been charged with trespass.

Two teenagers have been hit with good behaviour bonds after trespassing at a warehouse rumoured to be haunted by ghosts.

Two teenagers who broke into a Salisbury warehouse after seeing social media reports that it was haunted have been hit with good behaviour bonds for trespassing.

Cody Wayne Montgomery, 19, and his girlfriend Monique Paige Bragg, 18, were nabbed by waiting police as they crawled out of a window at the warehouse on January 20.

Montgomery’s solicitor said her client, an apprentice electrical fitter, had a photography account on social media platform Instagram and was keen to snap the supposed ghost.

“He attended there (the warehouse) to take pictures with his girlfriend, but as soon as he saw the police he came out to talk to them,’’ she said.

“He didn’t know it was an offence. Urban exploration is quite a popular subject for photography at the moment, but he now realises his actions were wrong.’’

Southside’s drunkest drivers face Holland Park Magistrates Court

Cody Montgomery leaves Holland Park Magistrates Court with his girlfriend Monique Bragg, and Bragg’s mother.

The court was told the pair had heard about the haunting at the disused warehouse on social media and decided to go there to have a look.

But when Montgomery crawled out through a louvre window police were waiting for him.

Montgomery’s lawyer said her client was very young, had no criminal history, had made an early guilty plea and the experience of being in court had been an “eye opener’’ for him.

Bragg’s lawyer said her client, a Woolworths employee, also was very young, had no criminal history, had made an early plea and co-operated with police.

Magistrate Simon Young put both teens on $300 good behaviour bonds.

He did not record convictions, saying it was not a serious example of trespass although he doubted the pair did not realise their actions were illegal.

“There was nothing sinister in you attending the warehouse,’’ he told Montgomery.

“But I’d like to see those photos.’’
